Extra 15: Same Interests

When they went to pick up Jayden, Jayden was surprised by the impromptu family outing, so naturally, he said goodbye to his colleagues right away to go out and eat with them.

As soon as he got into the car, Jayden noticed the bruise on James's cheek and got furious that someone had been bothering him, but was glad to hear that everything was under control "It's good that those kids won't bother you anymore," he said after James finished telling him what happened.

"Yeah, Dad,"

"That boy was a meanie, Daddy. He also tried to bully other kids," Elizabeth added.

"Well, it's good they finally put a stop to that, and Edward's idea surprised me a lot," Deborah said as they walked into the restaurant and took a seat at one of the available tables. "Edward always tells me he wants to be like his dad," James said. "And um... I...," he began, blushing and looking away.

Deborah and Jayden noticed their little boy's nervousness.

"And you? What do you want to be when you grow up?" Jayden asked, putting a hand on his son's shoulder.

"I want to be like you," James said, looking him in the eyes, although he still seemed a bit nervous.

"You want to be like me?" Jayden said, surprised.

"Yes..."

"My son," he said, hugging him as a huge smile spread across his face.

"It looks like your wish came true, love," Deborah said.

"Wish?" James asked, confused.

"You know, ever since you were in Mommy's tummy, I always imagined the two of us would build amazing houses and buildings with those toy blocks I have in my special room." "Yes! I love that idea, Dad! I even have some drawings, James said.

"Really?"

Yes."

"When we get home, show them to me, okay?"

"Yeah!"

"Daddy," Elizabeth joined the hug. "You know, when I grow up, I want to be a princess."

"That's great, sweetie. You'll be my little princess."

"Yep, Daddy,"

They pulled away from the hug when the waiter arrived to take their order.

Once the waiter left, they resumed their conversation.

"Hey, Dad..." James called out.

"Yes?"

"So, you like the idea of me wanting to be like you?"

"Of course, I do. In fact, whatever you choose to do for a career will be fine by me," Jayden said, ruffling his son's hair.

"Really?" James asked, looking at his parents, who nodded silently.

"James," Jayden said, "tell me, why were you afraid to say that?"

"Um... I don't know. I just thought you wouldn't like me following in your footsteps, or that Grandpa George would get mad at me because he once asked if I liked how jewels are made like Uncle does. He offered to teach me how to tell precious stones apart and stuff." "But son, Grandpa George asked you that because he wanted to know your interests, not because he was forcing you to become a jewelry designer," Deborah said.

"Really?"

"That's right, son. He was just asking if you liked it," Jayden said, patting his son's back. "But in the end, the choice is yours because it's what you'll be doing in life." "Hmm..."

"Hehe, but it still makes me really happy to know you want to follow in my footsteps."

"Yes! I love seeing how your drawings become real, and I want to do the same, to make my drawings come to life," James said excitedly.

"It's so thrilling to hear my son talk about his passions, Deborah said, smiling as she watched her son's happiness.

"It's true, Mommy, Daddy," Elizabeth said. "James likes drawing houses because he always reads those complicated books with pictures." "Elizabeth..." James said, blushing in embarrassment.

"What books?" Deborah asked while holding Nicole fo feed her.

"Let me help, love." Jayden picked up little Michael to feed him too.

James reads Grandpa's books."

"What? Have you been reading architecture books?" Jayden asked, clearly surprised.

"Yeah..."

"Wow, son, those are advanced books," Jayden remarked.

"The dictionary you gave me helps a lot."

"Aww... my baby is a little genius," Deborah said.

"Mom..." James protested, his face turning beet red.

James pouted, making the twins laugh at the face he made.

"Hehe, even Mike and Nicky think you're a genius," Elizabeth teased as their parents wiped the milk from the twins' mouths after they spit up while laughing.

James smiled, feeling happy to see that his parents would support his choice. "But now I don't know how to tell Grandpa George."

"Just tell him the same way you told us," Jayden sald.

"And if you want, you can tell him tomorrow when you go have lunch with him," Deborah added.

"Grandpa won't be mad if you tell him, James," Elizabeth said.

"Hmm..." James replied happily.

Just then, their food arrived, so they started enjoying their meal, listening to Elizabeth chat about her day at school.

After they finished eating, Jayden, still feeling excited, took them to a toy store to buy some sets of building blocks so they could play in the afternoon in his special room.

And so Elizabeth wouldn't be left out, they bought her some miniature figures to play house with all the buildings they made with Dad.

"Look, Daddy, this one has butterfly wings," Elizabeth said excitedly while assembling the figures.

"She's cute."

"We can put this girl in the-treehouse," James said, equally excited.

"Ah..."

"Bl..." The twins were sitting next to them in their baby carriers, waving their little hands.

"You're still too little, but in a few years, you'll be able to play with them too," Jayden said, looking at the twins, who were lying in their carriers next to their dad and siblings. Deborah smiled at the sight of her entire family playing together and decided to take a picture.

"But love, come join us so it can be a family photo to remember."

"Alright," she said, sitting next to Jayden to take a family photo.

""Mommy, can you help me?" Elizabeth asked.

"Of course," she replied, helping to put together the figures so they could spend the afternoon playing as a family.
